In Silent Transition, a series of monumental pastel paintings on paper, Aanestad explores forms that change from the clearly defined to the unclear and dissolved. The subtle and tactile work represents a still image of a process in transformation.
"My work alternates between the fragile and quiet phases and the more powerful, explosive and expressive ones. And sometimes, in between. I am fascinated by the idea of the infinite and eternal versus volatile and disappearing moments; the vulnerability we have as human beings – how life can remind us of the capricious temperament in nature and the universe, where chaos and ephemerality exist parallel to calm, balance and silence."
